Grade: 7 Unit: 4 Week: 3
Content: Cross Sections
Angle Pairs
Dates: 2/4 – 2/8

Theme Essential Question:
How can you use formulas and geometry to solve real-world and mathematical problems?

Essential Questions:
  • How can you identify cross sections of three-dimensional figures?
  • How can you use angle pairs to solve problems?

Standards:
  • 7.G. 3 Describe the two-dimensional figures that results from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids.
  • 7.G.5 Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

Objectives:
  1. The student will identify figures formed by cross sections.
  2. The student will sketch cross sections of three dimensional figures.
  3. The student will identify and construct supplementary, complementary, vertical and adjacent angles.
  4. The student will apply knowledge of supplementary, complementary, vertical and adjacent angles to solve multi-step problems and simple equations for an unknown angle.

Reflections and/or Comments from your PCSSD 7th Grade Curriculum Team
This week will focus on two different concepts; cross-sections of three dimensional figures and angle pairs. In order to facilitate student product, Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-on Activities, will be used as the primary resource. The discussion provided below from Ohio Department of Education will be very useful in the development of lesson and activities.

Cross-Sections:
Slicing three-dimensional figures helps develop three-dimensional visualization skills. Students should have the opportunity to physically create some of the three-dimensional figures, slice them in different ways, and describe in pictures and words what has been found. For example, use clay to form a cube, then pull string through it in different angles and record the shape of the slices found. Challenges can also be given: “See how many different two-dimensional figures can be found by slicing a cube” or “What three-dimensional figure can produce a hexagon slice?” This can be repeated with other three-dimensional figures using a chart to record and sketch the figure, slices and resulting two-dimensional figures.

Angle Pairs:
In previous grades, students have studied angles by type according to size: acute, obtuse and right, and their role as an attribute in polygons. Now angles are considered based upon the special relationships that exist among them: supplementary, complementary, vertical and adjacent angles. Provide students the opportunities to explore these relationships first through measuring and finding the patterns among the angles of intersecting lines or within polygons, then utilize the relationships to write and solve equations for multi-step problems.

Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-on Activities:
  1. Cross-Sections:
Use Acitivity #2, Slicing Figures, page 120
  • Allow students to work in groups and assign a different shape to each group.
  • Recommended shapes rectangular prism, cone, cylinder, sphere, triangular pyramid, rectangular pyramid. (other prisms and pyramids as needed).
  • Slice shape to find as many cross sections, as noted in the activity instructions, and present their cross sections to the class.
  • If a student(s) have the aptitude to prepare sketches, allow this student(s) to roam the class producing sketches of the cross sections to be use as classroom displays.
  1. Angle Pairs:
Use Activity, What’s the Angle?, page 124
  • Conduct the activity and display student work as indicated.

Key Questions
  • What geometric figures are formed from a cross section of a three dimensional shape?
  • What are the characteristics of supplementary, complementary, vertical and adjacent angles?
  • How do you apply supplementary, complementary, vertical and adjacent angles to solve multi-step problems and simple equations for an unknown angle?

Observable Student Behaviors
  • The student can viualize and describe the two-dimensional figures that results from slicing three-dimensional shapes.
  • The student can use and apply supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to solve simple equations for an unknown angle.

Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
